Research abstract

Automatically identifying person-based characteristics is helpful in variety of industries for threat detection. The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) is interested in a video analysis tool that can automatically identify and catalog anthropometric characteristics that are important to On-Person Screening in real time. Toyon Research Corporation proposes to tackle this problem by breaking it into main parts to solve. First, the task of initially localizing and describing airline passenger characteristics can be framed as an object detection problem. Second, the task of tracking airline passengers across a video stream once the characteristics have been initially identified can be done through traditional tracking algorithms that have the ability to run in real-time.
